How much was your union initiation fee?

Management

Thats all ya got

 

[DOK]

Yes the fee is large, but I really doubt anyone quits over a high initiation fee. Especially since new hires get a bonus, including me, and I've paid 6 weeks initiation. Im still bringing in a hair under 300 weekly because of bonus

Bonus's for select hubs is unfair.

I believe mine was around $80.

What would you say the reason is that any non management employee would chose to go non union? Im actually curious not trying to start a riot.

As with any quasi- political organization:
1) disagreement with direction of the organization
2) some people are strong individualist
3) RTW - no need to ... Employee gets the same pay and benefits

Ouch

$100 here

 

[PT Crazy]

Mine was $70 many years ago. I hear the company is paying the fee if you stay a year.

Zero, I was part of the first time UPS Freight group. I think the current for our local is $500.00 with a $200.00 credit if you come to the new orientation class. So it would be $300.00 if you show up for 2 hours to learn a bit about our union.

 

[scooby0048]

It seems crazy to me that ours is 500,but yeah its 500. 25 weekly deducted until its paid off. 30ish monthly after that.

Ours is $0.

$500 / $750 for some centers is ludicrous.

 

[scratch]

I don't even remember paying an initiation fee to join Local 728 in the late 70's. I don't think part-timers should pay it myself.

 

[watdaflock?]

It's a shame the union is a for-profit business and only raises its savings by charging its employees more.

...is an unfair practice

 

[Matty_lawn]

...is an unfair practice

You're really coming in with hot takes

 

[Mr.nobody]

That's insanely high

 

[MC0493]

Local 177, currently paid $200 into initiation as of this pay period. No idea when it'll end.

 

[haller]

They told me $250 at orientation.
